SUNDOWN is a full day collaboration of eclectic artists and pioneering independent music at an evocative, natural outdoor venue in the Northern Shenandoah Valley, not far from Washington DC.
A total of 14 local and regional bands and solo performers will be featured, spanning genres from tender folk to loud indie rock. Eclectic arts and handmade goods will be part of this all day fest as will food carts/trucks and good ole craft and domestic beer.
Festival location held rain or shine at Willow Grove Venue, a historic farm and homestead on the borders of Winchester, Virginia on Saturday, September 19th from 12 noon to 8pm.
An honest days work, a day full of play or a relaxed day off. The best parts of a day happen in the duration but at night you can sit back and reflect. This feeling of fullness and completion; that satisfied feeling of a day well lived is experienced at SUNDOWN.
About the Venue:
Although it was once more remote, Willow Grove Venue, also known around town as The White’s Farm, is being re-formed as a space for community activity, group celebrations, and stewardship of the land and local resources.

Press

“just the right amount of appeal to attract a large audience, yet just enough slam to get your blood pumping and your fist shaking.”

— The Equal Underground

“Skyward’s new EP Drift contains six pounding rock anthems that sound straight out of a summer blockbuster. The songs are large and loud but never overcrowded or overblown.”

— Speak Into My Good Eye

“...their sound simultaneously evokes the epic post-hardcore of bands like Moving Mountains and The Beautiful Mistake as well as the melodramatic synth-fueled alt-rock of The Killers.”

“With it's huge sound and catchy hooks, Drift is sure to find its place on your music player soon.”

— Noisecookie.com

“Every aspect of Drift seems to be geared toward the idea of expansiveness: the scorching guitar riffs, the sparse piano notes, the bellowing drums, the anthemic vocals…they all coalesce into a grandiose sound that gives the listener a feeling of elevation.”
